Is Jackson, Tennessee really that beatiful?

I didn't expect to find as many amenities as we saw - shopping galore, very quaint downtown, and right outside of Jackson in all directions is country! I am so glad we decided on the Jackson area for our retirement home.

congratulations on your new home, and welcome to tennessee. it sounds like you have good sense and make smart decisions armed w/ good information. sadly, there are many around---many on this forum---who seemingly can't or don't do the same. east tn is mainly rocks, hills, shaks, and meth labs. you will like the lay of the land, lakes, rivers, woods, and hollows in west tn.

Kingchef that is just wrong. Both east and west TN have their advantages and disadvantages. Not everyone has the same priorities in life and for some people one area may be a better fit than the other. You seem to prefer west Tn, fine, but to imply that those of us who chose east Tn are somehow less sensible and incapable of making good decisions is rude in the extreme.
There are many wonderful area all across Tennessee. I'm sure NY Annie will be quite happy in her new location, when she finally makes it there. Just as I am happy in my new home in lovely east TN~ dubbleT, formerly of west TN

To the OP....Why would you wanna be close to Memphis?


As far as Hardeman County.....If you are a deer hunter you'll love it. Whiteville, Tn is a speed trap

well, that is certainly your opinion; however, west tennessee is safer from meth operations and most of the mean, rowdy, and backward and land possessive behavior for which the mountain culture is widely known. as for me, i like the mountains; however, most people in this area opt for destin and the gulf. different strokes, no doubt.
